Question 1

Do the LEDs change colors?

Accepted Answer

no the LEDs do not change they are always red.  however you can dim them to make them not so bright or bright

Question 2

This keyboard says it is a mechanical keyboard on Cooler Master's website but in the description on newegg it say it isn't. Is it Mechanical or not?

Accepted Answer

It is definitely a mechanical keyboard. If you click on the specs tab on the Newegg page, it should say it's a mechanical keyboard and will indicate the switch type (Red, blue, etc) below it. There is a QuickFire TK version for each switch type so be careful which one you chose.

They won't let me include a link but Google "cherry red switches" and the first result should give a good primer on the difference between the color switches.

I got the MX Red as my primary use was gaming and I am very happy with it.

Good luck!

What are the dimensions?

It doesn't say on the box, but it's approximately 38cm long by 14cm wide (~15"x5.5") - definitely smaller than most keyboards I've seen because it integrates the arrow and home keys into the num pad
